The Fund for RIT

Annual gifts are critical!
RIT is the university it is today thanks to our generous donors. And the tradition of "giving back" continues to grow throughout our RIT family. The Fund for RIT, the central fundraising area of the university, reaches out several times during the year to ask for your continued support. Your annual gift today will help RIT stay on its trajectory toward becoming one of the top universities the nation — and continue to increase the value of every RIT degree! Every gift — no matter what size — truly makes a difference in the lives of our students.

"THANK YOU OF THE MONTH" PROGRAM

If you have given in the past, please renew your support. These are challenging times and where you choose to give means more than ever. If you have not yet made a gift to RIT, consider our new "Thank you of the Month" Program.

  • Every month, the Fund for RIT will offer a different RIT "Thank You" item.
  • A $5 gift is all it takes to receive this item.
  • Each offering expires at the end of the month.
  • It's an easy way to show your RIT Support!

THANK YOU OF THE MONTH

FREE for a $10 gift

You can make your gift to your favorite area of RIT - your college, program, club or organization, etc. There are also some special ways to make a gift:

  • Buy a Brick as you support a scholarship fund and make your mark on RIT.
  • Go Greek and directly support your favorite Greek organization through our new Greek Life Fund.

Remember, your gift can be directed to your favorite area of RIT, including:

  • RIT's Unrestricted Fund, which allows the university to respond to immediate needs as well as supplement the capital fund.  Such support ensures that RIT will continue to offer students an environment optimized for learning
  • our colleges, departments and academic programs
  • scholarship funds – our general need-based fund or named scholarship funds
  • the RIT Athletic Association and all 22 of our sport teams
  • the RIT Libraries at Wallace Center, which includes the main library, the archives, the Cary Press and the Lawson Publishing Center and more
  • the Tiger Spirit Fund, dedicated to enhancing student life
  • RIT's Endowment Fund, a long-term investment fund which provides a source of continuing financial support for the future of RIT.

There are also many special funds that might be of interest to you. For more information, contact us at FundforRIT@rit.edu or call 585-475-5500.
